I think it is the age group, I have a son that will be 10 in May and he does the same thing and I am a chef! I tell him if I have to try it then he has to try it and then he can form an opinion to say if it is bad or not. It takes some stern talking but the majority of the time after he tastes it, he likes it and that will get under my skin as well because he took me thru all that and turns out he likes it. Otherwise I just ignore it all together and he will chime down because he realizes that he is not getting a rise out of me. Just a suggestion.
